Timberlake has stepped well beyond his 'N Sync days to emerge as one of the top draws in pop music, winning the Breakthrough award at the 2007 Billboard Touring Awards. Timberlake's last tour in 2007, promoted by AEG Live, grossed $127 million, according to Billboard Boxscore. Timberlake is booked by David Zedeck at Creative Artists Agency and managed by Johnny Wright.

Justin seems to have a very good relationship with AEG, but this sponsorship deal might be just the tip of the iceberg.
